A quasicrystal is an arrangement of atoms that has long range order but does not have the translational symmetry possessed by conventional crystals. The results could pave the way for a new wave of interest in the exotic materials. This limits the useful size of a quasicrystal to just a few centimetres.

An example of an organic material layer where light absorption and transport of excitons takes place, is in a film of well-ordered poly(3-hexylthiophene) nanofibres. When light is absorbed by a solar cell, it creates electron-hole pairs called excitons and the motion of these excitons plays a crucial role in the operation of the device.

At temperatures near absolute zero, Gross reasoned that vacancies in crystals of bulk solid helium-4 could condense into a superfluid that would flow through the solid. This produces a crystalline order in the atoms’ density, even though each individual atom is completely delocalized. From one dimension to two. That’s the theory.
